How is this news? Seems like they would want to keep it a secret.

The nearest Britain came toward a written, Republican constitution?

This happened to me for a couple hours in a tornado.

The lights went out and the beer flowed.

Reminds me of:
Uncle Dick drowned last week in a vat of whiskey at the bBrewery. Some of the fellow workers dived in to save him but he fought them off bravely. We cremated his body and it took three days to put out the fire.

If it were possible to know ahead of time when weather conditions would worsen, cutting the pub off from the outside world (I do hope that not only the roads were impassable, but also the telephone lines were down), they could make a pretty penny advertising the fact as an amenity - they'd probably be booked out months in advance!

i spoke this morning to a guy at the gym who went to ireland for the weekend and got stuck in the snowstorm...he said people were stuck in their houses for five days..

he also said in ireland they don’t plow or shovel anything...evidently if they don’t plow/shovel and someone slips or gets in an accident they cannot file suit because it is considered an act of God...if someone does shovel their walkway and a person slips and hurts themselves they can file suit because it is viewed the person who shoveled cause the circumstance...

What happened at the Lion’s Inn stays at the Lion’s Inn.

I’ll bet there was a fair bit of lyin’ going on, both during and after the lock-in at the Lion Inn.
